Is an Bradford pear tree a simple leaf compound needle or scale?

The Bradford pear tree (Pyrus calleryana) has simple leaves. Simple leaves are those with a single blade that is not divided into leaflets. Compound leaves, on the other hand, have blades that are divided into multiple leaflets. Needle leaves are those that are long, narrow, and pointed, like the leaves of pine trees. Scale leaves are those that are small and scale-like, like the leaves of some cacti.
